Today in class, we started off with writing down our homework, which was nothing (Smith said this might be the only weekend we don’t have homework all year) except to remember when you signed up for your conference, because you should show up.
Then we went to library orientation. Mr. Murphy talked to us about all sorts of library stuff.
- The Important People at The Library
- Mr. Murphy, Librarian
- Mr. Fisch, Director of Technology
- Mrs. Brachtenbach, Library Clerk
- Checkout
- Student ID
- is not technically needed to check books out
- you should still have it on you at all times, just for safety and making sure you’re supposed to be at AHS
- All you have to do is type in your student ID and then the librarians will help you out
- Behavior
- Voices
- the library should be a quiet place where students can study during their off hours
- you can talk, just be quiet
- Electronic Devices
- cell phones are fine as long as they are not disrupting anyone
- no talking on your cell phone
- no checking voice messages--it looks like you’re talking on your cell phone
- Hat/Sunglasses
- same dress code rules as anywhere else
- Food/Drink
- not allowed
- waterbottles need to be in your backpack
- Fines and Fees
- 15 school days for a regular book (novel)
- not including weekends, holidays, etc.
- $0.25 each additional day up until $5.00
- Overnight materials (headsets)
- $1.00 each additional day
- More information in your student planner on page
- Hours
- 6:45 am until 3:30 pm most days
- days preceding a weekend or break close at 3:00pm
More information here or in your student planner on page 7
When we got back to the class, we began to read and annotate The Cask of Amomtillado by Edgar Allen Poe. We copy pasted it into a google doc and annotated by highlighting portions of text with our cursors, then right clicking and inserting a comment, or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-M. Before we began, we compiled this little list of what annotations to make and what they do.
Annotations
- Questions-text? -understandings -pushing thinking -I wonder/what if=predictions->engagement
- active and passive readers--active is important for school--passive is okay for out of school
- Connections
text to self, text to world/history, text to text/movies/songs
- LOTF connection to Nazi Germany example of text to world
- extensions
- “stay true to text”
- annotations slow down reading, but thats okay
So we began annotating and here is an example of our annotations (it’s mine!)
